Taylor Swift arrived in England to continue her ambitious The Eras Tour. However, she never thought that her private jet could be vandalized by environmental activists trying to make us aware of climate change and the dangers we will face if we don’t stop the use of fossil fuels.
Taylor Swift and her private jet are almost vandalized by activists
In a video published by Just Stop Oil (a group of British environmental activists that seeks to alert us to climate change), we can see two young people aged 22 and 28 burst into Stansted Airport, very close to London, and begin to vandalize the private planes around them with orange paint.

🔥 Jennifer and Cole cut the fence into the private airfield at Stansted where @taylorswift13‘s jet is parked, demanding an emergency treaty to end fossil fuels by 2030.

The main reason why they arrived at this airport is that, apparently, minutes before, Taylor Swift had landed in the same place, so this peaceful proposal was specifically aimed at the singer, who has been pointed out on multiple occasions for being the celebrity who pollutes the environment the most through the use (and abuse) of her private jet.

The airport authorities immediately intervened and took both young activists into custody. However, Cole MacDonald, 22, spoke more about the purposes of their most recent protests:
“We live in two worlds: one in which billionaires live in luxury and can fly in private jets far from the other, in which uninhabitable conditions are imposed on countless millions of people. Meanwhile, this system that allows a few to accumulate extreme wealth, to the detriment of everyone else, is destroying the conditions necessary to sustain human life in a rapidly accelerating and endless “cruel summer.” Billionaires are not untouchable, climate breakdown will affect each and every one of us.”
This is not the only proposal that has gone viral in recent days. A few days ago, a group of activists also broke into Stonehenge, the most important megalithic monument in British history, dating back to about 3000 years before Christ.
In the videos that are also circulating on the internet, two young people can be seen entering the place and spraying an orange powder against the structure of monoliths, even though other attendees tried to prevent them. The police also intervened in this act and arrested the two young activists.

On social networks, Just Stop Oil also spoke out on the matter and published a statement warning about the government’s concerns, which are in favor of monuments and not in favor of caring for the environment.

Finally, in another recent protest, two activists stormed the gallery at Philip Mould in central London, where Jonathan Yeo’s portrait of King Charles is on display.
In it, both activists pasted two stamps, one with the face of Wallace, a character from ‘Wallace & Gromit’ and a phrase that says: “There is no cheese, Gromit. Look at all this cruelty on the farms of the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).”
